We invited readers to send in their favourite travel pic -- that one photograph that perfectly captures the beauty of a place they visited. And we have been inundated with stunning pics from every corner of India.

Here are some beautiful photos that capture the clouds and the sun in their various forms.

First up, Leena Raut sent in a picture of the Bhandardara Lake in Maharashtra, where the sun peeks out from behind a thick cloud cover.
